2. 6. Optimal Networking in Wirelessly Powered Sensor Networks

   Author : Rong Du; Carlo Fischione; Ming Xiao; Aylin Yener; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wireless energy transfer; network lifetime; energy beamforming; IoT; smart cities; sensor networks; scheduling; optimization; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are nowadays widely used for the long-term monitoring of small or large regions, such as lakes, forests, cities, and industrial areas. The performance of a WSN typically consists of two aspects: i) the monitoring performance, e.g. READ MORE

4. 7. Wireless Sensor Networks in Smart Cities : The Monitoring of Water Distribution Networks Case

   Author : Du Rong; Carlo Fischione; Ming Xiao; Iordanis Koutsopoulos; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Integer Programming; Nonconvex Optimization; Network Lifetime; Dynamic; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : The development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is making it possible to monitor our cities. Due to the small size of the sensor nodes, and their capabilities of transmitting data remotely, they can be deployed at locations that are not easy or impossible to access, such as the pipelines of water distribution networks (WDNs), which plays an important role in protecting environment and securing public health.

5. 8. Energy Constrained Wireless Sensor Networks : Communication Principles and Sensing Aspects

   Author : Erik Björnemo; Anders Ahlén; Mikael Sternad; Erik Larsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wireless sensor network; communication under processing cost; wireless channels; fading; probability theory as logic; uncertainty; measurement capacity; Signal processing; Signalbehandling;

   Abstract : Wireless sensor networks are attractive largely because they need no wired infrastructure. But precisely this feature makes them energy constrained, and the consequences of this hard energy constraint are the overall topic of this thesis. READ MORE

6. 9. Constraint Programming for Wireless Sensor Networks

   Author : Farshid Hassani Bijarbooneh; Justin Pearson; Pierre Flener; Edith Ngai; Ken Brown; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Constraint programming; wireless sensor networks; optimisation; macroprogramming; task mapping; Datavetenskap med inriktning mot datorkommunikation; Computer Science with specialization in Computer Communication;

   Abstract : In recent years, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have grown rapidly and have had a substantial impact in many applications. A WSN is a network that consists of interconnected autonomous nodes that monitor physical and environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, pollution, etc. READ MORE

7. 10. Centralized Routing for Prolonged Network Lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks

   Author : Ewa Hansen; Mats Björkman; Mikael Nolin; Dag Nyström; Thiemo Voigt; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Wireless sensor networks; routing; energy efficiency; asymmetric communicaiton; communication; power consumption; computer networks; trådlösa sensornät; trådlös; kommunikation; energikonsumtion; Computer science; Datavetenskap; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

   Abstract : In this thesis centralized routing methods for wireless sensor networks have been studied. The aim has been to prolong network lifetime by reducing the energy consumed by sensor-node communication.Wireless sensor networks are rapidly becoming common in application areas where information from many sensors is to be collected and acted upon.
